Common use of Subpoenaed Service Clause in Contracts

Subpoenaed Service. Employees required, by properly authorized subpoena, to appear before a judicial or administrative tribunal of competent jurisdiction as a non-party witness in which they have no personal or financial interest shall be released with pay from duty to the Employer for that period of time actually required to appear and remain. Subpoenaed employees called as witnesses in a civil or administrative action must make application to the Department of Human Resources for consideration as to whether their required appearance shall be paid or unpaid under the above standard. The Department of Human Resources shall, where appropriate, consult with the Office of General Counsel, for advice upon the nature of the subpoenaed service relative to the employee’s participation. If the employee has a personal or financial interest in the proceedings, or is a party to the judicial proceedings, they may be allowed unpaid release time from work pursuant to the subpoena, although the employee may request that the employer allow him/her to use accrued vacation or personal leave for the subpoenaed appearance. If and when excused from subpoenaed duty with more than one (1) hour remaining in an employee’s regular work day, driving time to the Employer inclusive, the employee is expected to report to work. Failure to do so shall be considered a disciplinable offense of serious magnitude. Validation of service day(s) and times shall be provided to the Employer upon request.
